    hi joe, i have a lot of knowledge from you, schoenfeld etc.. but i have a practical question.

    for a beginner/intermediate person, how do i deal with a given rep range? for example 3 sets of 6-15.. how do i choose the weight?

    what is the advantage of rep range like 6-15 on steady rep like 10.

    thanks..

    Joe,
    Would keeping the weight constant and let the reps to drop in subsequent sets still make sense? Like 100 x 15, 100 x10, 100 x6 – letting fatigue bringing the reps down after every set.
    I say this because with higher loads and low reps there may be more difficulty “feeling” the movements where you want etc. (At least until you have progressed up to a good level).
    Thanks.
